The piece reports King Leopold seeking a loan of 0,00,000 dollars from rich American financiers to fund Congo Free State expansion. It quotes Leopold asserting personal sovereignty over Congo, denying international law or Belgian state responsibility, and warns that loan terms could be altered or repudiated without redress.

Responsibility of Investors in Leopold Congo Abuses
Marquise de Fontenoy argues that any lender to Leopold for Congo development becomes complicit in brutal Congo Free State abuses. She cites testimonies from missionaries, travelers, Roger Casement, an Italian medical officer, and Earl Cromer to claim widespread cruelties, including severed hands and feet for rubber taxes. She contends powers won’t intervene, Leopold faces no fear of war, and his inquiry commission largely whitewashes abuses.
